Kerala Information

About Kerala

Nestled in South India along the historic Malabar Coast and mountainous region of the Western Ghats is the Indian state of Kerala. The origins of Kerala are steeped in Hindu legend and mythology involving incarnations of deities, an axe, and warrior sage. The state’s economy is based on spice exportation and the production of coffee, pepper, and tea. Kerala’s diverse landscape brimming with beaches, lagoons, and tropical sites attracts tourists from all over the world.

Things to do in Kerala

With its robust history, Kerala embraces and demonstrates its culture through religious festivals, art, and scrumptious food. One of the most prominent yearly celebrations at Kerala is Makaravilakku, a ritual where attendees gather at the shrine of Sabarimala and witness a sacred lamp lighting. On occasion, these holy festivals may also have grand firework displays and a decorated live elephant.

Cinema, dance, and music are major aspects of Kerala’s culture. In regard to performing arts and music, Keralan artists practice their craft through classical forms that are associated with the region’s temples. The film industry is more modern than its artistic counterparts as the films often reflect current and past social issues and themes.

Due to the area’s significant religious influence, Kerala’s culinary scene offers numerous vegetarian and pescetarian dishes. Breakfast foods are usually rice-based while lunch is more varied with different types of curry, stews, and soups. Although the cuisine is heavy with grain and vegetable dishes, there are also several meat options available such as chicken curry and a spicy beef fry.
